*blocks ur jump*

>>377314905
Well, yes, they have hidden beak. It breaks your skull so.. Poison crabs could go through metal with their toxic. In the game, no matter how much health you have, when poison crabs hit you, they leave your health to 1

>>377312690
If they are from totally another universe in their homeworld Xen which is god damn far from earth, then why they look like they can only fit on the human's head?

>>377316510
and also why do most headcrab zambies wear white when most people are wearing either blue or military uniforms

>>377316510
Nanomachines, son.

>>377312690
> What would you do if these parasites infested your town?

Die? Pretty sure that's the only option.

That, or be part of a very small group of people who somehow survive through luck and forsaking/sacrificing people and literally burn everything they leave behind.

>>377312690
Where a pickelhaube.

>>377312690
I mean, are they edible? In addition to attempting to kill them, I'd try cooking them too.

>>377317320

Even the average ones can eat through Combine Soldier helmets easily. One bullet in that soldier's head is not enough, he still can run like hell.

>Some old weak scientist man is able to defang one, effectively domesticating
>Apparently removing the one way they feast doesn't starve them
They literally weigh nothing if a weak scientist type can strap it down and remove the one thing that kills you. Just get someone to hold it, mouth facing outwards, and pull it's fucking legs off. Drop the wriggling glorified fleshlight and enjoy your crab legs.
Feel free to defang it later and fuck it since they apparently can't die from starvation.

>>377317938
then do what >>377317175 said

>>377312690
i would leave my town
gg ez

>>377317947
kleiner's headcrab eats watermelons though

>>377312690
>What would you do if these parasites infested your town?

Wear a football helmet. Done

>>377318259
>Omnivorous parasites

>>377318339
They can break any helmet, there are some helmets that can't be broken so easily. But if you're in bad luck and face a poison headcrab, then you're finished. They melt shit with their toxic.

>>377318538
well i mean, headcrabs come fron xen. if they can eat a human bean despite having none on their native world then eating a watermelon isn't a huge leap of logic

>>377318591
Then I just move out of the way.

Wow so hard

These things can't hurt me wearing my 4500€ hand crafted 1450's medieval armor

Die, probably.

>>377312690
Wear Combine Guard's suit. That creepy motherfucker is indestructible, and yeah, get a pickelhaube too, then you're 100% safe.

>>377314323

Why do you never see any headcrab-vortigaunts?

Most likely keep one as a pet.

>>377318839
No, you can't, only your face is visible from that suit, and that human face inside is a dead human, it has no eyes too, and the thing in his mouth is some form of lungs. It can't breath Earth's air I think. The camera on suit is the real head. It says in the files. And yeah, that suit is large and looks heavy as fuck.

It's disturbing that they are still awake with those things on their heads and their stomach opened, and all that pain..

>>377316510
Vortigaunts are from Xen and they have a pretty human-sized head.

>>377320062
I don't think the vorts are from xen. The combine just chased the nihilanth and vortigaunts there

Kirk's fucking armor, yeahhh.

>>377317175
The only choice, cast away our pride and wear the German soldier's helmet.

We saw no normal Vortigaunt in Half Life 1, they all wore shackles and slave necklace things, so who did that to them? The Combine?

>>377320615
yes

>>377319824
>Prussian military garb
>/pol/
Pick one.

>>377320256
No, they do come from Xen. Combine chased them out of Xen.

>>377320615
>>377320712
Nihilanth enslaved the Vortigaunts in HL1.

>>377312690
Drive the fuck away

>>377320898
Nihilanth was in chains too.

>>377319409
Who's that guy? Indeed looks scary as fuck but I never saw him in HL.

>>377321065
WHO ENSLAVED HIM THEN?! GMan??

who was in turn being controlled by the combine

>Used to love these threads but lost all motivation to discuss lore after a decade with no game in sight

Lel, the Combine did all of those things, conquered Earth for only 7 hours, and they failed to defend the Citadel against badly armed fucking rebels, god damn.

>>377323136

The Combine that invaded Earth and their garrison forces are very different things. How can you miss that the whole point of EP2 was to stop the army that conquered Earth from coming back?

>>377323959
Didn't knew that, I thought they're calling the same Combine forces. But still, the Combine soldiers are much better equipped than rebels.. They have combine apc's,combine strider's, and other combine shit.

On the subject of Half Life 2
>mfw still discovering new lambda caches after all of these years
I just found the one that's right at the beginning of Anticitizen One, and I still have one more to find to get the achievement.

Sounds like an overcompensation for shitty game design

Zombie combines are the creepiest.

Not seeing chains here, unless you're implying his bracelet things are 'chains'.

The vortigaunts also explicitly state that they were enslaved by the Nihilanth and not the combine.

>>377317519
Pretty sure there is a hidden vortigunt in HL2 that is cooking headcrabs over a camp fire.

What kind of cheap replica abomination is that supposed to be? At least post a proper historical armour.

>>377328038
Why wouldn't the bracelets be chains? The Nihilanth even straight up says that he's been enslaved by the combine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjHOmV0p5zc

Are the Combine an individual species or a collective of harvested/enslaved life forms? If the second one who or what was the original?

>>377314323
>Laughs upon death

P-poor old man.

>>377328825

I'm pretty sure that Advisors rule the combine and everything else is just enslaved/manufactured/altered like the Synths and the transhuman divisions.

>>377328825
Valve doesn't even know, so no one knows. Anything would be blind speculation.
